I think it's fair to say all of us have had a bad experience with a leader at some point in our military careers. But what happens when those interactions impact our mental health and ability to get care? How can we advocate for ourselves and others?Rachel Oswalt is a Navy veteran and military mental health advocate that's asking military leadership to do better. Through her own experiences trying to get support while active duty, she saw how broken the system and culture was when it came to supporting sailors with mental health struggles (which by the way - is ALL of us!). In this episode, she shares her story and how it fuels her to challenge and coach military leaders to help them improve. This is such an important conversation, and I know you're going to feel inspired to step up as well!***If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

It's all too common to feel we're not getting the recognition we deserve, especially in the military.

You want to do a good job, but part of you feels like "what's the point?" While promotions and orders are outside of our control, you can create fulfillment and satisfaction for yourself.Start your 7 Day Clean Eating Challenge: ashleighmagee.com/cleaneatingchallengeClick here to subscribe to Healthy Women Warriors!Join the Healthy Women Warriors Facebook Group!Sign up for my WEEKLY NEWSLETTER and you'll get FREE tips on how to live a healthy life sustainably!!Email me at: admin@ashleighmagee.comIG: @AshmageecoachFB: @Ashleigh Magee CoachingTags: family healthbody image

Are you running yourself ragged trying to get all of the things done? It's hard to stand up for ourselves and boundaries, especially in the military when we're told to do what it takes to complete the mission. The problem is, when you don't advocate for yourself, create boundaries, and communicate with those around you, especially when you need help, that is a recipe for burnout!Listen to this episode to learn the three step you need to take today in order to protect your bandwidth AND mental health, while still getting more done!Love the podcast?Click here to subscribe to Healthy Women Warriors!Rate and Review the show!Join the Healthy Women Warriors Facebook Group!Sign up for my weekly email to hear wacky stories, motivation, and life lessons sprinkled in.Email me at: admin@ashleighmagee.comIG: @AshmageecoachFB: @Ashleigh Magee Coaching

Or worse, when you realize you will be working this weekend to get caught up. Take a look at your actual planner and then analyze how you are filling it in. Are you scheduling time for brain breaks?

Curse you Diet Culture!  When you are solely focused on your weight you will build up a lot of negative self talk and bad habits.  When we focus on solely losing weight, we can become fixated on the numbers and our bodies. This doesn't create freedom, but keeps you stuck in a diet cycle. And it definitely doesn't serve for a positive mindset.  Life should be about being healthy and abundance. On the other hand, I'm all for the body positivity movement…BUT…it's a double edged sword.  There's the argument “If you are really happy in your body why do you want to lose weight?”  In our society and on social media, it feels women can't win.  Instead, I like to focus on what you want to be, do, and have as a result of health/weight loss.  Want to be a healthy parent for your kids and an example? Or maybe you want to KNOW you could pass weigh ins!!  Your “why” should not give you guilt, it should be innocent motivation. It's ok to want to be more healthy.Focus on your health to reap all the “side effect benefits.”  THIS is how you lose weight but not be a hot mess about it!  Focus on the small habit you want to improve over time.  And if you need a cheering section…I'm here for it!  There are multiple ways I can support you…I'd love to chat or see you in “Healthy Habits, Healthy Life!”Enroll for Health Habits Healthy Life today at ashleighmagee.com/coachingLove the podcast?Click here to subscribe to Healthy Women Warriors!Rate and Review the show!Join the Healthy Women Warriors Facebook Group!Sign up for my weekly email to hear wacky stories, motivation, and life lessons sprinkled in.Email me at: admin@ashleighmagee.comIG: @AshmageecoachFB: @Ashleigh Magee Coaching

Most people are only focusing on 1-2 pillars (and they're doing it wrong). Learn about the 4 pillars of health that are fundamental to getting healthy and helping you reach your goals! They are food, fitness, sleep, and mindset. One is not more important than the other!  It sounds simple, but most people are not creating habits in all four pillars. Why does it matter?Food is our fuel.  And the old school mindset of calories in and calories out, is just not that simple! Let me shed some light on food and how to improve that relationship!  Next, is fitness.  Good news, you do not need to be a cardio bunny!  You're welcome!  Fitness should be something you enjoy, not punishment. What is your soulmate workout? Sleep is so important.  And I'm not talking quantity.  You need quality sleep to help your body restore and repair.  In fact, one-third of weight loss takes place in your sleep!Last but certainly not least, you need to evaluate your mindset.  How are you talking to yourself?  What has been ingrained in you from your upbringing? What lies do you need to dismiss?  You can do this.  It may be challenging but you can do this.  And THIS is where a coach really comes in handy.  A coach's job is to believe in your before you can believe in yourself!  I'd love to chat with you to see if I could have the honor of being your coach!  Check out my program Healthy Habits Healthy Life!Sign up now for Healthy Habits Happy Life at ashleighmagee.com/healthyhabitsQuestions?

Bet you thought I forgot about you…NEVER!  I am back better than ever and appreciate everyone's support. I didn't feel like me and when I took a closer look I knew I was facing burnout.  I was growing this gratifying business, trying to pass a qualification, AND working my job.  Something had to give and it wasn't easy to make the decision to step back temporarily. But when I started to truly miss helping others in their health journey…I knew I had taken enough time off and was ready to jump back into the swing of things.  I learned so much in my short hiatus.  I have an action plan in place to prevent burnout so I wanted to share some insights from my break.  Adjusting goals may happen due to a little break but the mental sanity and your health are worth it! I allowed myself to say no to things, to rest, to focus on self care for me!  Thank you again for your support and I am looking forward to getting back to our regular weekly schedule!This episode is brought to you by my Clean Eating Challenge!Get your free Clean Eating Guide at https://ashleighmagee.com/cleaneatingchallengeLove the podcast?Click here to subscribe to Healthy Women Warriors!Rate and Review the show!Join the Healthy Women Warriors Facebook Group!Sign up for my WEEKLY NEWSLETTER and you'll get FREE tips on how to live a healthy life sustainably!!Email me at: admin@ashleighmagee.comIG: @AshmageecoachFB: @Ashleigh Magee Coaching

Are you tired of everyone thinking because you are in the Military it means you are masculine? I feel like this conversation NEEDS to be had.  If you like being feminine and you are in the Military - you should be able to express that within professional boundaries.
